In this insightful episode of Things I Want My Daughters to Know, I'm joined by Dr. Anna Garrett, pharmacist, menopause educator, and author, for an honest and necessary conversation about the modern menopause landscape. She has been educating women about perimenopause and menopause long before the topic became mainstream and is a trusted voice in helping women navigate hormone therapy, testing, and lifestyle interventions.

With menopause information now everywhere — from social media to podcasts to coaching programs — women are more informed than ever before. But is this explosion of information actually serving women's health?

Together, we unpack what has changed in women's health over the past decade, where the system is still falling short, and how women can better navigate hormone therapy, testing, and lifestyle strategies to support bone, brain, and heart health throughout midlife and beyond.

This episode brings clarity to a noisy conversation and offers practical guidance for women who want to advocate for themselves and make informed, personalised healthcare decisions.

In this deeply reflective and empowering episode of Things I Want My Daughters to Know, I'm joined by women's empowerment mentor Angela Bennett for a conversation about reclaiming women's identity, voice, and innate power — across generations.

Together, we explore how societal conditioning and patriarchal systems quietly shape women's beliefs about who they are allowed to be, how loudly they are allowed to speak, and how much space they are allowed to take up. Angela shares her work supporting women to remember who they were before they were told to be smaller, quieter, or more agreeable — and why this remembering is essential not just for us, but for our daughters.

This episode weaves together themes of intergenerational healing, motherhood, leadership, assertiveness, and emotional expression, offering a powerful invitation for women to speak their truth without fear, guilt, or apology.

In this powerful and eye-opening episode of Things I Want My Daughters to Know, I'm joined by women's health coach and menopause specialist Heather McCarel for a deep conversation about menstrual cycle awareness, hormonal health, and what it truly means to work with the female body — not against it.

Together, we explore why understanding the menstrual cycle matters at every stage of life, how ovulation impacts overall health far beyond fertility, and why so many women feel disconnected from their bodies — especially during perimenopause and menopause. Heather shares her expertise on cycle syncing, infradian rhythms, fitness and nutrition for women, and how reconnecting with natural cycles (including moon cycles) can be deeply regulating and empowering.

This episode challenges outdated, male-centric health narratives and invites women — and the next generation — to see hormonal fluctuations not as a problem to fix, but as vital information guiding how we live, move, eat, rest, and care for ourselves.

Whether you're cycling, perimenopausal, postmenopausal, or supporting the next generation of women, this episode offers practical insight, deep validation, and a new way of understanding women's health — one rooted in biology, compassion, and self-trust.

What happens when menopause isn't a natural transition — but a medically-induced one overnight?

In this powerful and deeply honest episode, I'm joined by Sonya, menopause advocate and host of the Dear Menopause podcast, who shares her lived experience of being diagnosed with breast cancer at 47 and thrust into sudden menopause as a result of treatment.

Together, we unpack the complex and often misunderstood relationship between estrogen, cancer, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT), explore why so many women — especially cancer survivors — are left unsupported during menopause, and highlight the growing global movement to change the menopause conversation.

• Menopause after breast cancer and the realities of medically-induced menopause

• Why many women are unprepared for menopause symptoms post-treatment

• The myths and misunderstandings around estrogen, cancer, and HRT

• Why personalised, evidence-based hormone decisions matter

• The power of lived experience in changing women's healthcare

• How Australia is leading the way in menopause policy, advocacy, and access

• Why women must trust their bodies, ask better questions, and advocate for care

Women navigating menopause after cancer often sit at the intersection of fear, misinformation, and medical uncertainty. This episode challenges outdated narratives, highlights the importance of personalised care, and reinforces a powerful truth:

In this powerful and validating conversation, menopause educator and coach Jacqueline Rose is joined by Jennifer, a nervous system whisperer and venting coach, to unpack why so many women — especially in midlife — feel emotionally overwhelmed, exhausted, and constantly "on edge."

Together, they explore how societal expectations around productivity, emotional suppression, and femininity have shaped women's stress responses — and why menopause often amplifies what has been building for decades.

This episode is a compassionate invitation to slow down, listen to your body, and discover practical, nervous-system-friendly tools to regulate emotions, reduce stress, and reclaim softness without guilt.

• Why menopause is often the moment women can no longer ignore emotional overload

• How chronic stress and emotional suppression dysregulate the nervous system

• The hidden cost of multitasking and wearing stress as a badge of honour

• Why anger is often a symptom — not the root — of emotional distress

• The importance of creating emotional safety rather than "pushing through"

• How breathwork, EFT tapping, NLP, and nervous system awareness can support emotional regulation

• Why femininity, softness, and rest are strengths — not weaknesses

• What Jennifer wants her daughters (and all women) to know about emotional expression and self-worth

In this powerful and eye-opening episode of Things I Want My Daughters to Know, Jacqueline sits down with Claudia Kroon, PMDD coach, mother, and advocate, to uncover the truth about Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)—a severe and often misunderstood hormonal condition that affects millions of women worldwide.

After the birth of her son, Claudia's life was turned upside down by symptoms she couldn't explain—crippling anxiety, depression, rage, and burnout. What she later discovered was PMDD, a disorder that takes the hormonal fluctuations of the menstrual cycle and turns them into an emotional rollercoaster.

Together, Jacqueline and Claudia explore the difference between PMS and PMDD, the misdiagnoses women often face, and the frustrating lack of understanding in mainstream medicine. Claudia shares her hard-earned insights on cycle tracking, lifestyle management, and self-advocacy—reminding listeners that awareness and understanding are the first steps toward healing.

In This Episode we discover:

• The difference between PMS and PMDD, and why PMDD is not "just bad PMS"

• How PMDD is a neurological reaction to hormonal changes—not a hormone imbalance

• Why it takes an average of 12 years and six practitioners for many women to receive an accurate diagnosis

• How lifestyle strategies like cycle tracking, nutrition, and stress management can help improve symptoms

• The emotional toll of living with PMDD—and the empowerment that comes from understanding it

• The importance of educating girls and women about their cycles from an early age

This episode is for every woman who's ever felt "not herself" for part of the month, for mothers raising daughters, and for health practitioners seeking to understand the deeper layers of women's hormonal health.

In this inspiring and wisdom-filled episode of Things I Want My Daughters to Know, Jacqueline sits down with Pat Duckworth, a renowned menopause expert, author, and advocate for women's health and workplace well-being.

Together, they reflect on how the menopause conversation has evolved — from silence and stigma to awareness and empowerment — and what still needs to change. Pat, who first joined Jacqueline years ago for her Menopause Summit, returns to share her insights on hormone therapy, research limitations, and how women can take charge of their own menopause journey.

Their discussion spans from HRT and scientific nuance to the rise of menopause-friendly workplaces, and the importance of open, agenda-free spaces for women to share their experiences. Pat and Jacqueline also celebrate how far the conversation has come — and how collective wisdom, curiosity, and courage are reshaping the midlife experience for future generations.

• Why the menopause conversation is shifting — and what we've learned from decades of silence.

• The complexities of HRT research and why there's no one-size-fits-all approach.

• How women can become better informed and more confident advocates for their own health.

• The rise of menopause cafés and community spaces that offer support without agenda or judgment.

• How neurodivergence (ADHD, autism, etc.) is being increasingly recognised in midlife women.

• The growing movement for menopause awareness in the workplace and what real change looks like.

• Pat's timeless message for the next generation: embrace this life stage, get educated, and take ownership of your choices.

This is a heartfelt and deeply practical episode about education, self-advocacy, and redefining what it means to thrive through menopause and beyond.

In this honest and myth-busting episode of Things I Want My Daughters to Know, Jacqueline sits down with Esther Donoff, a nutritional therapist with decades of experience helping women rebuild healthy, sustainable relationships with food.

Together, they explore the shifting landscape of nutrition advice — from the low-fat craze of the 80s and 90s to today's obsession with "superfoods" and weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy. Esther shares her grounded, science-based approach to eating that celebrates balance, nourishment, and the individuality of each woman's body.

The conversation moves beyond calorie counting and diet labels, diving into what it truly means to eat for health, energy, and longevity — especially during perimenopause and menopause. Esther and Jacqueline also address the cultural pendulum swing from body positivity back to body comparison, exploring how we can support younger generations in cultivating body confidence rooted in self-awareness, not social media ideals.

• How nutrition advice has evolved and why the low-fat diet trend did more harm than good.

• The crucial role of healthy fats for brain health, hormone balance, and cellular function.

• Why variety and not restriction is the foundation of a truly healthy diet.

• The truth about GLP-1 weight-loss medications (like Ozempic): what they can and can't do.

• The importance of empathy and understanding when discussing body weight and medical treatments.

• Practical, real-world nutrition tips for busy midlife women — including store cupboard shortcuts and supplement essentials.

• How to model body acceptance and balance for the next generation.

This conversation is a refreshing reminder that nutrition isn't about perfection it's about connection: to your body, your food, and your life.

In this powerful episode of Things I Want My Daughters to Know, Jacqueline sits down with Sandra Wint, a spiritual mentor and women's wellness practitioner, for a deeply honest conversation about intergenerational healing, the mother-daughter relationship, and the legacy of womanhood we all carry.

Together, we explore how societal expectations, inherited beliefs, and personal experiences shape the way women mother — and how daughters unconsciously inherit both the strengths and struggles of the generations before them. Sandra introduces the concept of "daughtering" as a way of reclaiming agency and self-awareness within the maternal lineage, inviting us to view our stories through compassion rather than criticism.

We also discuss the evolving role of motherhood, the ongoing pressures women face in balancing career, home, and self, and how midlife offers a unique opportunity to rewrite these narratives. Our conversation touches on the real, lived experiences of women today — from the spiritual to the social, from menopause to motherhood, from inner work to world events — including how the recent conflicts in Israel have reshaped family dynamics and revealed new models of shared responsibility.

• The concept of "daughtering" — and how shifting focus from the mother wound to the daughter's experience transforms generational healing.

• The unseen impact of societal and cultural expectations on how women mother — and how daughters internalize these patterns.

• How generational trauma and epigenetics influence women's health, relationships, and identity.

• The changing nature of mother-daughter relationships as both age and evolve.

• Why self-compassion and self-leadership are essential in healing intergenerational cycles.

• The connection between menopause, identity, and womanhood as a rite of passage.

• Reflections on how recent conflicts in Israel are reshaping family roles, resilience, and women's leadership in the home.

This is a deeply human episode — about remembering, reparenting, and reclaiming what it means to belong to a lineage of women.
